Various employees across hierarchies joined hands and actively participated in the contest thereby exhibiting their passion to reduce their carbon footprints.
21st of September has been observed as World Zero Emissions Day since 2008. The purpose is to offer a preview of what a planet without the release of fossil fuels into the air would look like.

On average, 40+ documents, 100 copies and 150 signatures to move one shipment makes the logistics and supply chain industry paper intensive. Kale’s solutions enable the industry stakeholders to go paperless and smartly perform their operations. These solutions integrate into existing back-office systems to improve business operations and are suitable for different modes. In addition to improved environmental impacts, businesses that have adopted solutions from Kale have reported productivity increases of up to 70 per cent.
Rajni Patwardhan, Marketing Head at Kale Logistics Solutions said, “On average, every individual in Mumbai emits 1.8 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide and surprisingly, 17 per cent of that comes from transportation and 23 per cent from electricity consumption. By making an effort to limit consumption of fuel and electricity per person, we can gradually reduce carbon emissions and achieve our climate change goals. The Zero Emission Warrior initiative was conceptualized on the same thought and our employees have actively participated in the contest with much enthusiasm.”
